Seth et al,
        I just did this in an '85 and got the fuel hose from Bus Depot, I don't
know if any of the other venders carry the correct size. Its 7mm fuel
injection hose. I looked here in the Md/Va/DC area and none of the FLAPS
carried it, they all tried to sell me some kind of cloth covered hose that
was way too soft. The dealer wanted $20.00/meter. I also replaced the small
hose (same stuff) supplying each injector. You need to cut it to lessen the
grip it has on the injector to remove it completely from the barbed end of
the injector. I mismeasured how much I needed and had to place 2 orders it
took more than I expected. I would also replace the abrasion resistant
coverings. Hope this helps.
